Those of you still using stock front end do you prefer radial or bias ply?

Radials on mine and they feel fine. I've got a sway bar, too, so that will help keep away the roly poly feel.

War dials unless you're doing. A museum quality restoration. Otherwise I'm not sure why you'd want bias plied tires.

I went with bias to keep the originality, and really they drive and feel great! but they do cost more these days!
